Stacey, I sympathise, I really do. It can't be easy trying to placate a bunch of fractious folks like us!
C'mon people let it rest. We've done this argument a thousand times. It all comes down to this: it's Rendo's site, so it's Rendo's rules. If we don't like the rules, we can go somewhere with rules we prefer (which is more than we can do in the real world). BUT - Rendo is a business, and they are not going to risk being put out of business because some idiot complains that they are showing nude images of what look like children. And there such people out there.
For a bit of light relief, I saw in a a newspaper today that Tesco (huge UK market chain) are selling a 'home pole dancing kit' (I kid you not). So some killjoy complains to a newspaper, and before you know it some other pillock is complaining that kids ought not to be exposed to this stuff. As the writer put it, the only really offensive thing was that the price was £50 for a piece of elastic and half a shower curtain support.
The mods are doing a pretty good job IMHO. If they remove an image, it's because it breaks the rules, not out of spite, and it's not an insult to the image or the artist. It would only be an insult if they said, 'we're removing your image because it's crap' or some such.
